North Dakota GOP Secretary of State Forgets Native American Students
Imagine this, the GOP Secretary of State, Al Jaeger, distributed a letter to North Dakota Universities and advised them of best practice of voting when they live in a dormitory. Can you say, "voter suppression"??
In his letter, he states:
A college student has the choice of voting in the precinct associated with her or her North Dakota home residential address or he or she may vote in the precinct of the residential address the student has while attending college.
Further it state for Out-of-State students attending college that they may cast their ballot in North Dakota or the student may cast an absentee ballot in their home State.
This was all great information for college students but what was Secretary of State Jaeger did NOT provide this Sample letter to the 2,500-2,600 Native American students attending Tribal colleges across the State of North Dakota. When this was brought to his attention and a request to his office to provide this letter to the Tribal colleges, Jaeger’s Deputy stated “they would do better in the next election cycle”.
